The art and photography portions encourage students to depict and reflect on their environment, while the writing component provides students the opportunity to write about the future they would like see for the planet. Winning submissions will be published in the 2010 Robert Bateman Get to Know calendar. The Robert Batman Get to Know Contest closes May 27, 2009.
